UNIT 2:  RESEARCH METHODS

A wide range of research methods are used in psychology. These methods vary by the sources of information that are drawn on, how that information is sampled, and the types of instruments that are used in data collection. 

​Methods also vary by whether they collect qualitative data, quantitative data or both.

Descriptive or Correlational Research Methods
  • Case studies, surveys, naturalistic observation, and laboratory observation are examples of descriptive or correlational research methods. ...
  • Remember: correlation is not the same as causation.
